CLASSIC COLLECTION
Succulent Blue
The blue succulent that proves the Classic Collection has always had specific opinions about what succulents are allowed to be.
Description
Classic Collection ceramic wall flowers include the blue succulent because Briana had blue glaze, there was a succulent form, and the result of combining them was neither terrible nor a decision anyone in the studio regretted. The Blue Succulent is a handmade ceramic wall flower from the Classic Collection, kiln-fired in Toronto in a blue glaze, shaped in the succulent rosette form — the same form that appears across the Chive range in greens and latte and pea green, now in the blue that the living succulent has been attempting to achieve for its entire evolutionary history without success.
The Bad News Bears of ceramic collections
Chive's Classic Collection is the collection of misfits — the Bad News Bears of the range. Small runs of pieces that sell out in a week, glazes that have no home in any other collection, the results of Briana's leftover glaze experiments that either work or don't. The blue succulent is from the experiments that worked. In blue the succulent rosette form reads as the most specifically Chive interpretation of what a succulent can be — not the expected green, not the Japan Collection's pea green or avocado, but the blue that makes the form read as something designed rather than planted. The Art Institute of Chicago carries the Classic Collection.
The Art Institute of Chicago carries the Classic Collection. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame stocks it. The Royal Ontario Museum carries it. The RHS Chelsea Flower Show awarded Chive the 5-star booth award — the highest rating given — for 13 consecutive years. Art institutions with strong aesthetic positions have independently decided this collection belongs in their gift shops. Chive has been designing and making ceramic flowers in Toronto since 1999.

How to Hang Ceramic Flowers?
One discovers these flowers, each bearing a secret: a tiny keyhole nestled in the back, waiting for its destiny. The ritual feels almost predetermined - reaching into that dusty jar of orphaned screws, the ones squirreled away over countless home projects. Those odd bits of metal, collected like precious coins, finally finding their purpose. A quick twist of the drill, and there hangs beauty, supported by hardware whose previous life remains a mystery.
